Durant Assistant Police Chief John Smith said the two dogs attacked the man Tuesday outside a home on Hamilton Street. The man was walking down the street when the dogs rushed out of an open door and charged at him, police said.

Lindsay Pace, the sister of the owner of the dogs, said the animals aren't aggressive.

"It's obvious that if she is barking at you and you go to swinging like he claims he was, of course they're going to get meaner," Pace said.

Police cited the owner for failing to have liability insurance for the family's four dogs, which is a violation of the city's dangerous animal ordinance.

"It's any dog that causes any kind of threat to a person or the environment that surrounded," Smith said.

The family said they can't afford to buy the required insurance.

"We are going to eventually give the dogs back. We have 30 days, and I don’t know what we're going to do. The kids have fallen in love with the dog. They are heartbroken that the dogs have to go back," Pace said.

Family members said they got the two pit bulls six months ago from a pit bull rescue shelter in Columbus. The dogs will likely go back to the shelter.

The dog's owner will go before a judge for the citation and could face a hefty fine.
